Most Brands Direct from the USA!



A three-day event, POP-UP FLEA, brings together numerous leading American brands, including FILSON from Seattle, Tellason from San Francisco, Tanner Goods from Portland, Freemans Sporting Club from New York, and the quintessential American footwear manufacturer, Red Wing Shoe Co.

Its origins lie in a "short-term shop where long-lasting goods can be purchased," which began in New York in 2009. Limited to weekends, each vendor (brand/manufacturer) sets up their own space within the venue. They bring and sell rare items not available elsewhere, and interact with fans. This event embodies the dream of its founders, Michael Williams and Randy Goldberg.
